"Publish And Perish"

WILL PROSECUTORS LOSE BALANCE WHEN MURDERS OF PORN STAR AND PUBLISHER POINT DANGEROUSLY HIGH? -- "THE SOPRANOS" MICHAEL IMPERIOLI GUEST STARS -- The murders of an infamous porn actress and a maverick publisher, Devries (guest star Randy Graff ) plunge Detectives Fontana (Dennis Farina) and his temporary partner Falco (guest star Michael Imperioli, "The Sopranos") into a sensational case that spirals upward to an ambitious and powerful police commissioner (guest star Kevin Dunn) who's up for the nation's top security post. But as District Attorney Branch (Fred Dalton Thompson) warns, McCoy (Sam Waterston) and the police must tread lightly given the high-profile players -- especially when they discover a more intimate link. Annie Parisse and S. Epatha Merkerson also star.
